Wonderful lecture! I grew up catholic, as an adult I started to question the prayers to Mary. I wondered why we had to go to Mary, why couldn't we go to Jesus?I left the catholic church after I read the bible.

[@georgepenton808]

Christine, as a Catholic you were taught that direct prayers to God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are not only allowed but encouraged, and you know from attending Mass (did you ever attend Mass?) that the Mass is one long prayer to the Father and that the emphasis is on Jesus, Jesus' Body and Blood, and that Mary is barely mentioned.

[@christinemitchell6406]

Mr Penton, I get what you're saying, and I respect your opinion. It's not just Mary that changed my heart. I did go to mass, and I prayed the rosary everyday, and I read about the saints. My cousin is a preist. The whole lecture is about the catholic church and it's corrupt history. Does any of the corruption in the church bother you?

As a cradle catholic, educated by them thru high school, I always wondered why the beads candles and indulgences, long robes and rituals were such a part of my church. I have long been away from it once I read Gods Word and tossed out man’s word. Thank you for sharing this!

[@kkdoc7864]

Letting Scripture Speak My friend in Christ, I know Catholicism backwards and forwards. But their gospel of salvation is completely wrong. It is awful to think that Christ didn’t pay for all of our sins, and that somehow humans must purge their own, too. When I heard a priest recently tell me he “hoped” that he was going to heaven, I was not only shocked, I was saddened by the fact he had been told things in error. If you place works and grace alongside each other, one invalidates the other. Grace is never merited. I also have investigated extensively the early church history, and have learned facts Catholics either don’t want to know or just prefer to believe the magisterium. I came to a profound realization that belonging to any particular church does not “save” you as I was taught growing up. Paul warned us in the first few years after Christ’s sacrifice that we should not follow certain men like Apollo or Ceohas(Peter) or even himself. It is Jesus Christ our only mediator who has saved me completely. (1 Tim 2:5). Praying to any other non deity created human being who has died in order to provide any mediation or intervention, therefore, is idolatry at best.

[@kkdoc7864]

Letting Scripture Speak What do the sacraments give? What are indulgences? What was or is the scapular? Why pray to created human beings who have died for anything when Christ is our only Mediator? It is about the truth of God’s Word. I must have a reliable gold standard. If tradition is contrary to Scripture, it must be discarded. I think that’s where Catholicism went off the rails. For centuries, it persecuted (killed) those who tried to bring the Bible to the masses, saying it was the only qualified entity to interpret them. I’m so happy not to have lived then. Lol. The decrees from the council of Trent actually solidified most of my reasons for not staying in that denomination. Unbelief in Purgatory, and the fact that faith need not be accompanied by works for salvation were said to be an anathema.Same with transubstantiation, indulgences and celibacy.

[@kkdoc7864]

@@mrearly2 what about my comments are wrong? Why do you think the RCC papacy retains pagan symbols? Beads, candles, sun symbols, the vestments worn ( fish of Dagon), and pineapples, one on his staff and a very large one at the Vatican. So you don’t believe in the Treasury of merit or talismans like the scapular or indulgences? And why is Mary, a sinful, created human being given attributes only belonging to God? And why do you sacrifice Christ over and over on altars around the world as if you get more salvation grace from attending when scripture clearly states His sacrifice was “once for all”. Anytime a dead female is “served”, worshipped, venerated in the Bible, it is an idol and those who served her were punished severely by God. Isn’t that interesting she was called the “Queen of Heaven? And why does scripture conflict with tradition in so many instances? Why are all believers referred to as saints and not voted into a special hall of fame? Why is Jesus the only high priest of the Order of Melchizedek and all believers a royal priesthood? We need no human mediators as Jesus is our ONLY mediator. The RCC teaches (like with idols) each saint has his/her own area of sovereignty? So many traditional teachings that have usurped the true gospel. The Eucharist actually changing into another substance is all meant to be spiritual unity with Christ to be done “in remembrance”. No human can call Almighty God to stay in a place made of human hands at the command of a ritualistic sacrifice that should never be reproduced in an unbloody or bloody way. This video is historically correct. How do you think Constantine was able to convince pagan Rome to accept Christianity? Research this instead of denying anything that goes against RCC tradition.

@Curtis MH "kk doc my friend. This video is full of crap. Talk to a priest. It’s never a good idea to learn about Catholicism from an anti-Catholic. " kk doc my friend. This video is full of crap. Talk to an SS soldier. It’s never a good idea to learn about Nazism from an anti-Nazi. Great advice, Curtis. I didn't learn about Catholicism from anti-Catholics. I learned by searching for answers that Catholics couldn't answer, like why are their dogmas not found in scripture. Of course they tell me the "early church fathers" always believed blah, blah, blah and point out "traditions". Here’s the problem, immediately! We really don’t need to look past the church at Ephesus to disprove this. The church of Ephesus was founded by the apostle Paul, who lived among the people at Ephesus for at least 3 years. Despite its having apostolic influence of bishops and overseers that were appointed by a confirmed apostle, we see this same church being rebuked by Jesus himself in Revelation, chapter 2. Why? Because they deviated from God’s word as well as deviated from any tradition they may have received. Revelation 2:1-7 Message to Ephesus 1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this: 2 ‘I know your deeds and your labor and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil people, and you have put those who call themselves apostles to the test, and they are not, and you found them to be false; 3 and you have perseverance and have endured on account of My name, and have not become weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and I will remove your lampstand from its place-unless you repent. 6 But you have this, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.’ If they had been appointed elders by an apostle then they had been entrusted to carry on this tradition so the fact that they were being rebuked by Jesus shows us that whatever tradition that they might have received was no guarantee that they were going to continue in it so what is the authority? The written word. It is always only the final court of appeal for Jesus, and the apostles, always. SOLA SCRIPTURA my friend. If we followed scripture only, [2 Tim. 3:16] we wouldn't be having this conversation. Tell me Sola Scriptura isn't found and Scripture and I'll point out the Trinity, Omniscience, Omnipotence and Omnipresence. God bless you man. ;)

There are 2 versions of Jesus = the Protestant version - and - the Catholic Biblical version. God is able to do all things. Jesus could have remained in Heaven and forgiven our sins, opened Heaven's gates to all, and did not have to come down to earth and live as one of us and die a cruel death. However, God goes to = extremes = to prove His love for us. But God has - expectations - and requires - More - from Christians because we have the perfect example of Jesus - Luke 12:48 From God's Expectations, Commandments and Testing come our guarantee of - eternal - salvation and Heavenly rewards. Jesus defined a Christian - Must take up your Cross daily, deny yourself and follow Me - Matthew 16:24. Jesus fasted - superhumanly - 40 days/nights. He dismissed Satan who mocked Him for fasting when He could have all the bread to eat - Matt. 4. Later, Jesus rebuked Peter as Satan when Peter tried to dissuade Jesus from His path of sufferings and death.- Matthew 16:23. And Jesus did not take the sour wine offered to Him whilst on the Cross to deaden the pain. Moreover, Jesus did a World of Works - John 21:25. Even Paul, like a faithful Christian= boasted =of the Cross -Galatians 6:14 , Christian Rule of Thumb is that if anything is hard/difficult, it is from God. On the other hand, if it is -easy - it is not from God The fact is that there are Catholics who leave the Faith because they say it has too many rules and regulations. Of course, they don't realize it is that rules and regulations are like Commandments which were God-issued so that these create a - safe - boundary beyond which the devil, like a roaring lion, is prowling about seeking to devour. On the other hand, Protestantism has no rules and regulations, no requirements and only promotes - Easy - Christianity and cheap Grace. List of - Hard - Facts == Commandments = Love God and Neighbour, including Enemies = God's Testing = Strive to enter Heavenly narrow gates for Few will enter - Mat. 7:14 & Luke 13:23-24 = Confess to another - John 20:22-23 = Eat My Flesh, drink My Blood - Real Food and Drink- for Eternal Life - John 6:53-58 + Partake of Holy Communion, worthily - 1 Cor. 11:26-27 =Jesus' Parables requiring the multiplication of Talents, becoming more fruitful "soil," wise "virgins" carrying oil, etc.= Vengeance is Mine, I will repay; = Fasting, Prayer and Almsgiving - Rewarded by the Father who sees in secret - Matthew 6. = Jesus urged the necessity of praying always - Luke 18:1. Thus Catholics have adopted the responsibility of praying for others, just as Jesus urged Peter to pray and thereby strengthen the others - Luke 22:32. List of - Easy - Facts == With Faith alone, one is saved by Grace and name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life, never to be erased = God's Commandments and Testing have been overtaken by Jesus' sacrifice and covered with His Precious Blood. Moreover all sin debt - past, present and future - has been paid in full. Thus the Guarantee - Absent in the Flesh, present with the Lord, forever = The 4 Gospels were meant for the - lost - people of Israel. Now there is a new covenant in the Blood of the Lamb which means - Once Saved, Forever Saved = Works are unnecessary for Salvation and are boastful = And Christian Marriages that end in - easy - divorce and remarriages. Remember, Jesus instituted the Church, which is a body of Believers, for the reason that He wants His followers to worship and pray together. Jesus declared that where 2 or 3 are gathered in My Name, there I AM - Matthew 18:20. Even the Lord's Prayer is plural - Our Father. What is the Gospel Message ?? The 4 books of the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are titled - The Gospel - according to Matthew / Mark / Luke / John. This was the same Gospel message revealed to Paul by Jesus - Galatians 1:12 - which reflected the Teachings and Doings of Jesus and which Paul proclaimed - verbally - on his missionary journeys. Later on, after Paul had received reports from faithful and trustworthy members, he sent out letters to the churches he had established to commend them or to correct them and even provide more insight and clarification. The Bible titles these letters as - Epistles - to the various churches of Corinth, Philippi, etc. Thus, these Epistles were Paul's means of keeping in touch with, as well as providing a Review/Report of the status of the churches he wrote to and to whom he had previously preached - verbally - the Gospel. Besides, 2 of Paul's letters have gone missing - see 1 Cor. 5:9 and Col. 4:16 Common sense would therefore dictate that we place our doctrines and belief systems first and foremost on these 4 Gospels, and keep everything else secondary. This is because our Salvation is the most important question we will ever face. It is thus obvious that these Epistles are way-down secondary to the 4 Gospels which Jesus brought from the Heavenly Father's mind and heart for our Salvation. Sadly, Protestants have based their - Doctrines - and belief systems on these commentaries and Epistles - instead - of the 4 Gospels. They have created doctrines that require no Confession as per Jesus' formula, denial of the - Real Presence - of Jesus in Holy Communion, and the need for Good Works despite that the Great Judgement is based on Works - Matthew 25. By declaring that only Faith is necessary for Salvation, they have effectively cancelled the Cross - the very symbol of Christianity. Yet even Paul, like a faithful Christian, boasted of the Cross -Galatians 6:14, Will they be raptured ? Will they be saved.?

There is no such thing as a Roman Catholic, except for Catholics who happen to come from Rome. There is no such thing as a "Catholic by Birth". You can't even spell Catholicism correctly. You seem extremely confused.

[@mikemwanza8027]

Jesus was a jew, all his apostles were Jews, the gospel was preached first to Jews. Apostles and the first church assembly happened in Jerusalem which became the headquarters for the first church and the apostles. Where was roman Catholic at that time? Later Paul a Jews was send to gentiles. Jesus through John wrote to the seven churches established by Paul. Why is the roman Catholic Church missing? The Bible declares clearly that Peter was send to Jews while Paul was send to gentiles, how comes roman Catholic (a gentiles church) attributes Peter as it's first pope? Can you answer this simple questions please.

[@loboman8029]

@@mikemwanza8027 Regarding why Catholics believe that Peter was the 1st Pope, we have Apostolic Succession whereby the church continues after Jesus' Heavenly ascension and the death of the Apostles. The Bible indicates that Jesus had an " inner circle " comprising Peter, James and John whom He took alone to select places like His Transfiguration, the raising of Jairus' daughter to life, and the Garden of Gethsemane before His Passion and Death. Even in this " inner circle " the Bible always ranks Peter ahead of James and John Catholics believe that Papal authority was given to Peter, the 1st Pope, on Peter's declaration of Jesus' Divinity and Son of the Living God - Matthew 16:16 and Jesus' response of - You are Rock on which I will build My church - Mat. 16:18 - together with Jesus' entrustment of the Keys to the Kingdom to Peter alone- Matthew 16:18-19. It was confirmed after Jesus' Resurrection, when Jesus questioned Peter's love 3 times, firstly to assuage Peter's guilt regarding his thrice betrayal, but most importantly to seal Peter's pastoral role of spiritually feeding Jesus' followers - His lambs and sheep - John 21. In John 21 verse 19 concludes with Jesus, the Good Shepherd. who directed Peter - FOLLOW ME. This directive made only to Peter can only be interpreted as Jesus' successor. Note: Jesus entrusted the keys of Heaven **only* to Peter - Mat. 16:19 - and empowered Peter that whatever, he bound and loosed on earth, would also be bound and loosed in Heaven. On the other hand, on the very day of his resurrection from the dead - John 20:22-23 - Jesus breathed on His Apostles, including Peter, His own Spirit, and empowered them to forgive - or bind - sins. Jesus' breath was similar to the one which gave the life-force to the earth-created Adam - Genesis 2:7 Of the 12 Apostles, only Peter had his name changed from Simon to represent his new authority and role from being a fisherman to being a Fisher of Men - Matthew 4:19. It is true that Paul also had his name changed from Saul - a Persecutor of the church to becoming its Promoter among the pagans. Moreover, of all the Apostles - excluding Judas - the Resurrected Jesus appeared to Peter first - Luke 24:34. Peter was the 1st to perform the miracle of healing - Acts 3 When the couple Ananias and Sapphira lied to the 1st Christian community, it was Peter who confronted them and God " executed " them - Acts 5 Peter was the 1st to raise the dead Tabitha to life - Acts 9 Peter was the 1st to introduce Gentiles to the church - Acts 10 Without a Magisterium, Protestant ministers have become their own teaching authority which has resulted in thousands of denominations. Protestant ministers have become dependent on the " itching ears " of their congregations and can be voted out of office - something which is not Biblical. The "Prosperity" doctrine, now in vogue, is one of the results despite Jesus' declaration that - To be My disciple, you MUST take up your Cross daily, deny yourself, and follow Me.

@@mikemwanza8027 The Bible is, historically, a dated book as it records only to the 1st Century. Thus we read only the deaths of Judas and James but not about the other 10 Apostles or of Paul as to when, where and how they died. Does it mean that, because their deaths are not recorded, that they are still alive ?? Obviously not. Paul declares the Bible - useful and profitable - in 2 Timothy 3:16, but that the Church is the Bulwark and Pillar of Truth - 1 Timothy 3:15.

Christ died between 30 and 40 AD. The earliest Gospels, Matthew and Mark, were written after 70 AD. The last book of the Bible, Revelation, was written by John within the last 2 decades of the 1st Century. Pauls' missionary journeys were around 48 to 60 AD. The greater part of the NT -Muratorian Canon - was probably compiled in 180 AD, whereas the Bible as we know it, was compiled much later. This means that, for the most part of the first 2 to 3 centuries after Christ's Ascension, there was no complete Bible, and as a result the Oral Tradition was the guiding force of the early Christians. Moreover, before Guttenberg invented the Printing Press in the 15th C, the Bible was laboriously copied by hand by - Catholic - clergy and monks. It wasn't done by the rich who had other preoccupations, nor by the poor who did not possess the learning - nor by Protestants or other non-Catholics. Also, Catholic St. Jerome, who who lived in the 4th Century, was the first to translate the then existing Greek and Hebrew versions into Latin - the common language of the day- called the Vulgate Bible.. Thus it was Catholics and Catholicism that produced the Bible The best Bibles are the - Red Letter Bibles - so named because they have the words of Jesus printed in Red. Why Red ?

And Jesus has been assigned - ALL - judgement = John 5:22, so will obviously judge us by His words and actions. The 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, record Jesus' messages that speak of Tough Love - If you love Me, keep My commandments - and - If you wish to be My disciple, take up your Cross daily, deny yourself and follow Me - and - More - is expected of Christians to whom much has been entrusted - Luke 12:48.

Previously, Jesus commanded us to - Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood - for - Eternal Life = John 6:53-58. And, Jesus' Parables are often prefaced with - the kingdom of Heaven - or - the Reign of God - and require us to multiply our talents, become more fruitful " soil " as well as become wise virgins carrying oil Sadly, Protestants have ignored Jesus' tough Love messages, and instead have " cherry-picked " some of the passages from other than the 4 Gospels, thus jeopardizing their salvation.

@neinacelebre4546 What tends to happen with Catholics who never understood their faith is that shortly after becoming Protestant, they could tell you everything about the Catholic Church within about 30 days after leaving the Church. What goes unnoticed within Protestant communities is that there are thousands and thousands of Protestants converting to Catholicism. Yet, more people are leaving. It is said that for every six people that leave the Church, one Protestant enters. Now after years and years of studying this phenomenon, what I have come to learn is that those who leave the Church never understood her teachings...and those Protestants who enter the Church do so because of their understanding. There are tons of pastors (even mega-pastors) and just regular people from the pew who are entering the Church when they learn what Catholicism really teaches. Many of them were once extreme anti-Catholics who believed the Pope was Satan and the Catholic Church - the Whore of Babylon. Now I know this reply is not going to make a difference but I'm hoping you accept my invitation to learn more of what I have to say. Nonetheless, I'll leave you with the following for you to contemplate over in my attempt to incite you to have an open heart to hear me out: Protestants proclaim that the Bible is their foundation for truth. However, according to the Bible…the Church is the Pillar and Foundation for Truth (1 Timothy 3:15) since God manifests His Wisdom through Her (Ephesians 3:10)... by the Holy Spirit who guides her and teaches her (John 14:26 & 16:13)…which is why Jesus instructed the people to listen to what the Holy Spirit says to the Church (7x’s - Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 27 & 3:6,13, 22)…which the Church explains through Scripture…which is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness - since all Scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Now because of the misguided teachings of false pastors who have led many away from the Church, Paul commanded the Faithful to adhere to the Traditions of the Church (2 Thessalonians 2:15)...lest they be led astray by some tickling of the ear (2 Timothy 4:3).

[@loboman8029]

@@RS54321 Regarding why Catholics seek Mary's intercession, here are 2 cases. First. At Jesus' transfiguration, Moses & Elijah were seen talking with Him. In OT, Elijah had been bodily carried to Heaven, Moses had died. When Peter volunteered to build tents, he was obviously seeing them each in bodily form. So there IS life after death. Second. When Jesus spoke in Parables, He used fictitious figures in His teaching moments like the Prodigal Son, Father & Brother who had no names. However, in the Living Account of the Rich Man(RM) and Beggar Lazarus(BL) - Luke 16:19-31-, the historical Abraham and the BL were named while Jesus did not "care to remember '' the RM's name. In this Parable, Jesus declared that both the RM & BL had died, had been judged and assigned to their places - BL carried by Angels to Abraham's bosom, the RM sent to a place of torment. Despite being dead, there was a request for intercession by the RM to Father Abraham for his brothers. This is the second case of Life after Death, and both cases involve Jesus. Mary is superior to both Moses & Abraham. Moses committed murder and was disobedient at Meribah in the desert that disqualified him from entering the Promised Land. Abraham lied about his wife Sarah being his sister, and committed adultery with Hagar, his servant. Mary was " full of grace " with no biblical faults ascribed to her. And Mary is the mother of Jesus and thus the most excellent intercessor between us and Jesus, God & Judge ( John 5:22). While we pray to God we also have to use human helps like doctors, farmers etc. Possessed persons and their families cannot help themselves without the aid of exorcists. Jesus loved & honored His mother Mary and would therefore treat her better than the error-prone Moses & Abraham. Humanly speaking, we all love and " adore " our Mothers - not worship them. ======>>>> Jesus loved perfectly and also " adored " His Mother.

Every other Christian church is an offshoot of the Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox churches broke away from unity with the pope in 1054. The Protestant churches were established during the Reformation, which began in 1517. (Most of today’s Protestant churches are actually offshoots of the original Protestant offshoots.) Only the Catholic Church existed in the tenth century, in the fifth century, and in the first century, faithfully teaching the doctrines given by Christ to the apostles, omitting nothing. The line of popes can be traced back, in unbroken succession, to Peter himself. This is unequaled by any institution in history. Even the oldest government is new compared to the papacy, and the churches that send out door-to-door missionaries are young compared to the Catholic Church. Many of these churches began as recently as the nineteenth or twentieth centuries. Some even began during your own lifetime. None of them can claim to be the Church Jesus established. The Catholic Church has existed for nearly 2,000 years, despite constant opposition from the world. This is testimony to the Church’s divine origin. It must be more than a merely human organization, especially considering that its human members- even some of its leaders-have been unwise, corrupt, or prone to heresy.

He also said he was a door, so are all doors Him?

No, they ate the bread and wine which symbolised His body and blood. Furthermore, at that meal Jesus also ate bread and drank wine - so did He literally eat Himself? The trouble with Catholicism (and I was brought up as a child to be a Catholic until I came to a living knowledge of Christ) is that a system of sacraments to obtain grace is in direct contradiction to Christ as being our only way to Him, who simply said ‘Come to Me’. His grace is a gift freely given, not something you accrue into your spiritual bank account piecemeal with the hope of having earned enough of it to be worthy of Heaven when it’s your turn to die. Catholicism makes people slaves to its church and priests, as being only through their ministrations that you can attain Heaven. Its a terrible deception.

This people have no other business but to relate and correlate everything into myths and other false interpretarions when in fact they themselves do believed in this religion and worshipped it. Though it was separated from the Main making their own religion. We venerate and honor Mary indeed but we do not worship her as equal or higher than God. Mary is worthy of admiration due to her selflessness, courage, and faith in God. Especially in her time, to be unwed and pregnant was extremely shameful and sometimes even resulted in serious punishment.

Max yes I’ve read that. But God said when you go into the land do not worship the way the pagans do. The seven feast were set as prophetic memorials most have been fulfilled Passover promises the messiah and his redemptive work on the cross, the feast of trumpets for Christ’s return also tabernacles proclaims the thousand year rein. These feasts are set by God. Christmas and Easter are not established by Yahweh. They are from pagan origins as the lecturer is talking about Babylonian religion. Jesus was born during Passover and crucified on Passover. Why not celebrate his birthday and his crusifixtion one the holiday God had set it up. I’m god poured his spirit out on the feast of Pentecost. Jesus said he only does what the father does shouldn’t we if God our father said everlasting memorial why has the church ended it and replaced it with these evil holidays that was started to worship false God’s. I can look in the Bible and find scripture that God said to do. Even Jesus said he had to go to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. Can you show me we’re Jesus said to celebrate Easter or Christmas with there false God foundation and tradition. Jesus said the traditions of men make the gospel of no effect.

All seven sacraments are in the Bible and they do save us and they do confee grace, but only because God willed it that way. And Catholic Tradition IS on a par with scripture---see 2 Thesalonians 2:15. It is Protestantism that is unbiblical--Matthew 25:31-46, John 6:48-69, James 2:26, Matthew 16:18-19, John 20:22-23, Colossians 1:24, Phillipians 2:12, 1 Corinthians 13:2, and Matthew 19:6 all prove that the core Protestant doctrines of scripture only and faith only to be false, and they prove that salvation is a process, not an event.

@TheMcRyGuy *"THAT is no where in the bible."* - John 6:23-53 - A symbolic interpretation is not plausible. Throughout these verses, the Greek text uses the word “phago” nine times. “Phago” literally means “to eat” or “physically consume.” --- John 6:66-67 - many disciples leave Jesus, rejecting this literal interpretation that we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. At this point, these disciples really thought Jesus had lost His mind. If they were wrong about the literal interpretation, why wouldn’t Jesus, the Great Teacher, have corrected them? Why didn’t Jesus say, “Hey, come back here, I was only speaking symbolically!”? Because they understood correctly. John 3:5,11; Matt. 16:11-12 - here are some examples of Jesus correcting wrong impressions of His teaching. In the Eucharistic discourse, Jesus does not correct the scandalised disciples. John 6:64,70 - Jesus ties the disbelief in the Real Presence of His Body and Blood in the Eucharist to Judas’ betrayal. Those who don’t believe in this miracle betray Him. Matt. 26:26; Mark. 14:22; Luke 22:19-20 - the Greek phrase is “Touto estin to soma mou.” This phraseology means “this is actually” or “this is really” my body and blood. Matt. 6:11; Luke 11:3 - in the Our Father, we ask God to give us this day *our daily bread,* that is the bread of life, Jesus Christ. *1 Cor. **3:15** - “if any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.” The phrase for “suffer loss” in the Greek is “zemiothesetai.” The root word is “zemioo” which also refers to punishment. The construction “zemiothesetai” is used in Ex. **21:22** and Prov. **19:19** which refers to punishment (from the Hebrew “anash” meaning “punish” or “penalty”). Hence, this verse proves that there is an expiation of temporal punishment after our death, but the person is still saved. This cannot mean heaven (there is no punishment in heaven) and this cannot mean hell (the possibility of expiation no longer exists and the person is not saved).* Phil. 2:10 - _every knee bends to Jesus, in heaven, on earth, and “under the earth” which is the realm of the righteous dead, or purgatory._ *"Calling Mary blessed and praying to her are two different things. Prayer ONLY works between God and man IF mediated by Jesus Christ. When you pray to Mary, you just talk to yourself and look a fool."* -- Luke 1:42 - “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.” The phrase “blessed are you among women” really means “you are most blessed of all women.” A circumlocution is used because there is no superlative in the Greek language. Note also that Elizabeth praises Mary first, and then Jesus. This is hyperdulia (but not latria which is worship owed to God alone). We too can go through Mary to praise Jesus. Luke 1:48 - Mary prophesies that all generations shall call her blessed, as Catholics do in the “Hail Mary” prayer. Eph. 6:19 - Paul commands that the Ephesians pray for him. If there is only one mediator, why would Paul ask for their prayers? *"Jesus saves, not the sacraments, because Jesus is our High Priest"* -- *Catholics believe in seven sacraments because Christ instituted seven; because the Apostles and Church Fathers believed in seven* *BAPTISM* _"Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."_ (John 3:5, Acts 2:38, Rom. 6:2-6). *CONFIRMATION* _"Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. . . . Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost."_ (Acts 8:14-17, Acts 19:6). *The EUCHARIST* _"And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke, and gave to them, and said: Take ye. This is my body. And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it. And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many."_ (Mark 14:22-24, Matt. 26:26-28, Luke 22:19-20, John 6:52-54, 1 Cor. 10:16). *PENANCE* _"Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained."_ (John 20:22-23, Matt. 18:18). *EXTREME UNCTION* _"Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord . . . and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him."_ (James 5:14-15, Mark 6:12-13). *HOLY ORDERS* _"For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins . . .Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was."_ (Heb. 5:1-4, Acts 20:28, 1 Tim. 4:14). *MATRIMONY* _"For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder."_ (Matt. 19:5-6, Mark 10:7-9, Eph. 5:22-32).

Instead, Jesus eliminates any metaphorical interpretations by swearing an oath and being even more literal about eating His flesh. In fact, Jesus says four times we must eat His flesh and drink His blood.* John 6:23-53 - a symbolic interpretation is not plausible. Throughout these verses, the Greek text uses the word “phago” nine times. “Phago” literally means “to eat” or “physically consume.” *For those who refuse to accept Jesus command* John 6:54, 56, 57, 58 - He uses an even more literal verb, translated as “trogo,” which means to gnaw or chew or crunch. He increases the literalness and drives his message home. Jesus will literally give us His flesh and blood to eat. The word “trogo” is only used two other times in the New Testament (in Matt. 24:38 and John 13:18) and it always means to literally gnaw or chew meat. While “phago” might also have a spiritual application, “trogo” is never used metaphorically in Greek. John 6:55 - further, the phrases “real” food and “real” drink use the word “alethes.” “Alethes” means “really” or “truly,” and would only be used if there were doubts concerning the reality of Jesus’ flesh and blood as being food and drink. Thus, Jesus is emphasizing the miracle of His body and blood being actual food and drink. *"If you didn't have Communion the moment of your death, are you still saved?"* -- Judgement on the likes of this point is for God alone. But as long as the person remains in the state of grace then they are ready to enter heaven.

But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians. 9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet Bible says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18. 10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”. 11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10. 12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”.

For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again, in fulfillment of the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets.

Some say this is necromancy, but This is an improper usage of the term. Dictionaries define necromancy as “conjuring up spirits” or “communication with the spirits of the dead in order to foretell the future, black magic or sorcery.” When Catholics pray to saints, we do not “conjure up” spirits or tell fortunes.

The word “religion” has been distorted to have negative connotations, however, in The Bible, under inspiration the writers defined true religion...so the problem isn’t “religion”, it is false religion as opposed to true religion. See James 1: 26 - 27

[@gracielong3566]

The "organized religion of men" is what many rail against. It is this false religion that conflicts greatly with the Scriptures. It is when mankind puts their "traditions" above the inspired writings and the movement of the Holy Spirit. It is when men seem to think they can "order God around" during their rituals (aka eucharist); change his set times and laws... The word "religion" isn't the problem at all, but what mankind has done to corrupt true religion... Maybe this is not what you are trying to say, but it is my take on it.

Catholics and Protestants differ in why Jesus incarnated and died on the Cross. Protestants believe that Jesus came to pay the penalty of all sins, past, present and future. However, they are at a loss to explain why there are still devils around, why the Other Thief on the Cross was not also promised Paradise, and why The Father still has to chastise and scourge = every = child before He will accept them into Heaven = Hebrews 12:6 Catholics believe that Jesus came to pay the penalty of Adam's sin which slammed the gates of Heaven which were then opened by His shed blood. And that Baptism is a one-time = grace = event that washes all our prior sins. However, we are responsible for all sins after as evidenced by God's " execution " of Ananias & Sapphira from the 1st Christian community because they did not put their Faith into Action. And this was shortly = after = Jesus' Heavenly ascent = Acts 5. Jesus demanded " More " as we have the best example of Jesus Himself = Luke 12:48. Jesus fasted 40 days/ nights.

For God is Love and Heaven the perfect place of Love. By our good deeds we bring the Love of God and Heaven down to earth and lessen the effects of sin brought about by evil deeds. And Jesus declared that Good Deeds and Works of Mercy would merit Heavenly entry - Matthew 25 .Catholics also believe in the following requirement by Jesus, God and Judge = John 5:22 CONFESSION ================= Because we are responsible for all sins after Baptism, Jesus on the very day of His Resurrection from the dead, breathed His Spirit and - empowered - all the Apostles to forgive - or retain - Sins - John 20:22-23. This breathing was the same as the Breath that gave the life-force to the earth-created Adam - Genesis 2:7. Therefore Catholics confess to their Priests, as Apostles don't live forever.

The whole liturgical life of the Catholic Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the Sacraments. Barnett does not understand that the sacraments are 'powers that come forth from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving'. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, which is the Catholic Church. With regard to the papacy Jesus said, "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” The teaching authority of the Catholic Church is under the guidance of the Holy Spirit just as Christ promised. Barnett seems to get hung up on the word 'religion', but Jesus established a church, and the original Christian church he established is the Catholic Church. Remember Paul wrote in 1 Timothy that 'the church is the pillar and foundation of truth', and he certainly wasn't referring to any Protestant religion formed since the 16th century!

[@loboman8029]

YOU = I’m struggling because i am saved. ME = Are you reading the Bible correctly ??????? Protestants believe that Jesus paid for all sin, as we could not pay the sin debt. Jesus paid it all once for all. And they sadly believe that God will forgive, not only sins against God, but also sins against Neighbour.= Check Matthew 6:14-15 and Matthew 18:32-35. I urge you to read a Red-Letter Bible precisely to clear any misunderstandings you may have had about being " saved." And present the examples of Ananias and Sapphira from the 1st Christian - Faith - community who were " executed " by God for just dishonesty and lying . And this was shortly = after = Jesus' heavenly ascent = Acts 5. And Jesus' threat to spew out and vomit the lukewarm Laodicean church - Rev 3. Obviously, these people were = not = saved. Moreover, the final judgement is based on works of Love = Matthew 25. This statement is by Jesus, God and Judge. Protestants have long been weaned on Paul's letters and wrongly equate " saved " with being granted "heavenly citizenship." This is despite the fact that Paul stated in Galatians 5:19-21 that Christians who do works of the flesh will = not = inherit the kingdom of God. In other words they will not receive heavenly citizenship. Protestants base their theology - their basic belief systems and doctrines, instead of the Gospels, on Paul's letters especially =For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; 9it is not from works, so no one may boast = Ephesians 2:8-9 = and have arrived at religious philosophy that is distant from practical Christianity. Protestants believe that Jesus came to earth to die and take away all sins and its guilt association. His cry - It is finished - proved that human redemption from sin was completed, and that those who believe in Jesus would have their names forever written in the Lamb's Book of Life and at the time of death, they would be - absent in the flesh, present with the Lord forever - no matter how many or how grievous they committed sins. Others would be caught up and - raptured - to be with Jesus forever. Thus the promise of salvation was God's free gift - grace - to them. Catholics, on the other hand, believe that when Adam and Eve sinned, God not only cast them from Eden, and laid - Original Sin - on all their descendants, but also slammed the gates of Heaven shut. God then required that a man must pay the penalty of the man Adam's sin in order to atone for the Original Sins of mankind and thereby open Heaven's gates. However, no man was found to be worthy - sinless - so in the fullness of time, God sent His Son, Jesus, to live sinlessly and die to pay that penalty.. It is finished - was Jesus' cry of Mission accomplished and that Heaven was now open. And that all = original = sins of those past, those present and those still unborn would be forever wiped away. And that Baptism is a one-time - Grace - event that washes all prior sins - 1 Peter 3:21 - However, we are responsible for all sins after. Saved by grace is thus Jesus' freewill offering of Himself to pay the penalty of Adam's sin and thereby open the gates of Heaven. While the Catholic doctrine is not in the Bible, we understand that Jesus did a = world of -unrecorded - Works = John 21:25. As a result 2 traditions ensued - oral and written - 2 Thess. 2:15 - which are of equal merit Paul declares the Bible - useful and profitable - in 2 Timothy 3:16, but that the CHURCH is the Bulwark and Pillar of TRUTH - 1 Timothy 3:15. That is because the Church, the community of Believers, came first - Matthew 16:18 - and incorporates both the written word as well as the oral tradition - 2 Thessalonians 2:15. Moreover, Paul declares - Ephesians 1:23 - The church is Christ's body, Thus it is the Church, the BODY of Christ, that can rightfully proclaim the WORD of God Biblically, the Protestant position is un-supported and the Catholic position correct because of the following (( continued in Part 2 due to length ))

@@mfalmog Jesus established one church for the salvation of man. He said that he would be with it forever and he promised that the spirit of truth would be with the apostles till the end of time. Satan hates that church and has been attacking it from day one. One of his best attacks was the "Reformation" which split Christianity in two and put half of it outside of that protected church. So you have one church made by God and then 4 individual ones set up by 4 principle "reformers". That number was at 40,000 years ago and I think they have stopped counting, Jesus even warned Peter that Satan was out to sift him and Satan has clearly sifted and split Christianity through Protestantism. 500 years in existence and still it cannot produce a catechism explaining its beliefs. It is a rebellion against God disguised as a rebellion against his fallen church. Its member assume that reading a book they don't understand makes them saints and some say they can do as they please because they were once saved and thus protected from condemnation. They ignore most of what Jesus teaches in that book as they follow their human authors and ignore him. So they reject the teaching of Jesus on church, Eucharist, Mass, forgiveness of sins, salvation, sacraments, etc. According to Jesus they have no life within them (John 6) and they risk dying in their sins (John 20) That's how I drew that conclusion.

plume2035 Ok brother I understand and we do pray to Mary, who said we don’t, BUT NOT THE WAY YOU THINK WE DO So again lack of knowledge, lack of charity, lack of spit of truth, plenty of ignorance is a problem here again and always has been I haven’t met or heard one person who knew everything about us, what we believe, how we worship God, what we teach, and still hates us, in fact they convert, because they can not ignore truth anymore - So main problem is your understanding of Christ Catholic Church and Apostles and Church Father’s and teachings that Church teach and Mary is one of them 1. We don’t pray to God and Mary same way “I pray you to pray for my family “ I ask you, I even beg you because you are alive and I know you can help, Same with Mary she’s alive with God and her prayers as righteous are greater then ours ( from Bible) and if you could do more tomorrow then yesterday to go closer to God, would you do it 2. Mary is, after Jesus, only sinless, why, because -God could not be in anything dirty, if she was sinner she would be destroyed in pregnancy, God wouldn’t even do it but you see my point -Mary said yes and Eve said no to God - Mary is Mother of God Mary is Queen of heaven because Jesus is the Kind of Kings - Mary is new Ark of Covenant because - Old one has Manna from desert New one had Jesus, Bread of Life - Old one have Ten commandments written word of God Mary had living Word of God inside of her womb -Old one had stuff of Aaron New one had High Priest Himself inside So as you see all this is Bible and scriptural but is led by Holy Spirit to really understand God, His Love and his vision of family and unity on earth and in heaven, not by hate, to ruin, or gossip and attack my brethren before I know what one believes and even talk I do big of her WE ARE STILL NOT worshiping her but we acknowledge reality and you can use what ever word you prefer to have pictures clear but she’s not god, or goddess, to us, that’s a heresy that Church had to deal with in begging, nor we taking something from Christ and give to Mary So are we clear here now 2. Word Father and your guys objection to it is ideal example how wrong you guys are, how shallow you guys read bible and your understanding of it or the one who thought you Why, well 1. word father in that context of Jesus’s meaning was mentioned together with teacher and master and accidentally or not, those two word are never mentioned and are ok to use 2. Jesus sayythat if I think that my father is my origin then NO ONE shouldn call anyone father Same for master and teacher because like you said we can not do anything without God 3. After that occasion Jesus Himself use those words Apostles and disciples use those words And obviously they either contradict themselves or did not mean that way you guys understand because Jesus would contradict everything God the Father was saying about Abraham, Moses in OT Apostles what Jesus was teacher in NT and from OT So if you go to 1 Corinthians 4:15-17 15 For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 16 I urge you, then, be imitators of me. 17 Therefore I sent to you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.

Its in Christ and we are in Him I can understand that you didn't "FEEL" Christ, or many things, but if you have understood Bible and how God builds up His saints, you would see, that's temporarily and normal, and that fact should tells you that you did not know your faith, and for that reason were not catholic in reality, just in the name, and that my brother its not enough, So instead, going to search truth somewhere else, you should check, learn, study, research, around you first, then others, then compare, then pray a lot, fast, check all spirits that guides you and then stay or go.I was an atheist and "felt" God or something "more" but went wrong way, following emotions and feelings. basically myself, only when I have touched bottom as lukewarm catholic and became 'Born again Catholic", crying my heart out with complete surrender to God's will, and Christ took everything bad in me literally over one night, and woken up Holy Spirit in me, who pour many gifts mainly, instant knowledge, understanding, wisdom, prophecy, i could understand all this, in instant, talk about, seeing Christ the way he is, not that was hard or something before, but devil blinds us, our pride and ignorance, prevents us to see Christ, and everything He did and established, then i started learning and comparing and Catholic Church is only Church, (together with Ortodox's), that Christ established, because if nothing else, just for one reason, What bible says Church Fathers did, (because Bible came from them) and what they do, we do today, (because we follow Bible and Bible came from Church), Holy Mass, Eucharist to start with and all other sacraments - ""I went in with a totally open mind, no pre-conceived notions" So if your mind were open you would see truth around you, at the first place, and you did have pre-conceived notions, because you assumed that you did not know, or had truth, which started you up, to search, so again if you were real Catholic you would see and know truth, because you would be in truth, I hope you see that - "Honestly, it would’ve been much easier to just stay Catholic" This brother is not just "funny" but concerning as well- Because being real catholic is hardest thing to be, just ask all the Saints, past and present, real holy people, priest, monks, nuns and if you are saying that now, in state you are, then brother im really worried about you because you are not in right state, and proofs again that you were not rea catholic- "And I don’t mean any offense, but there were many things that struck me as contradictory practice in the church compared to what the Bible says" Brother, thanks I'm not offended or upset and I do understand you completely, i see when they do that and I honestly hope for same. So relationship Church - Bible, I've already explained and only problem there brother is your understanding of Church and Bible. - "I never learned the true gospel until I left" Galatians 1:6-8 6 I am astounded that you should be so quick to desert one who called you to the grace of Christ, and go over to another gospel; 7 this can only mean, that certain people are causing disquiet among you, in their eagerness to pervert the gospel of Christ.[1] 8 Friends, though it were we ourselves, though it were an angel from heaven that should preach to you a gospel other than the gospel we preached to you, a curse upon him! 9 I repeat now the warning we gave you before it happened, if anyone preaches to you what is contrary to the tradition you received, a curse upon him! So Catholic Church, through Holy Spirit, gave you this Gospel and you left, so do the math, and if you gonna tell me its not Catholic Church, read Church Fathers, History of Church, for instance, St Ignatius, disciple of John The Apostle and compere that with Bible, Catholic Church and yourself, and you'll seeAlso your statement contradicts your claims and itself really, i understand you see that now, but what start moving, was not truth because you cant know its there until you find it, and you wont start to search because you don't know its there, unless you assume, its there which contradicts you claims, and proof that you did not have truthI hope you see that "We are saved through Jesus blood alone. There are more verses than I can count that say this" Brother I see your point and meaning, and we kind of agree with that, but By His Blood we are bought, and in sense saved, but We are saved by Grace of God alone which includes His Blood, and if you knew yous faith, you would know that Church is teaching that since day of Christ and not by works what yo assume, we teach, you just go and read catechism and you will see and will be proven to you once for all, so we finish this subject and you don't believe that lie about us any more, if you did that as catholic that was you personal interpretation or understanding or upbringing, but not teaching of Catholic Church, sorry brother but it wasWe say and teach that faith without works is dead and that is what you say where works comes from, so we agree there

I'm happy to explain how much in error the 70,000 plus versions of Protestantism are in their 500 year protest against the one, true, church of Christ.

[@benmiddleton9984]

I feel really sorry for people that give up genuine Christianity to enter into satan's church...AKA the Roman Catholic Church. In Catholicism, a person can gain salvation and lose it many times depending on the number of sins committed, their severity, and how much of the sacraments they participate in--in order to regain grace which enables them to do good works by which they are justified. Furthermore, justifying grace is infused into the Catholic upon baptism and via the sacraments. This grace can be gradually lost through venial sins or forfeited all together with mortal sins. in other words, it's very unbiblical!! Roman Catholics preach tradition over scripture all day everyday. Catholicism teaches that the process of maintaining one's salvation, participation in the Eucharist (CCC 1416), having proper contrition (CCC 1452), and participating in penance (CCC 1468, 1496) are means by which the proper level of sanctifying grace is maintained, so that salvation is not lost. What a crock!!! Jesus taught none of this as a condition for salvation. Therefore, I've reproduced the biblical response here. But, we must again make it clear that salvation is a free gift of God (Eph. 2:8), that is by faith (Rom. 5:1), and is apart from our works (Rom. 3:28, 4:5; Gal. 2:16). "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one," (Rom. 3:28-30). "What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness," (Rom. 4:1-5). "Nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified," (Gal. 2:16). So we can see that salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone. Do Catholics know that adding works to salvation is condemned in scripture? Guess not.

Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39. 3. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet BIBLE says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47. 4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to GOD only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10. 5. Catholics say drink of the physical blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26. 6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet BIBLE says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them.

But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians. 9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet BIBLE says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18. 10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”. 11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10. 12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10. 13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6. 14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it. 15.

If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. 11 For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. 12 For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

There are some who present a decent argument. This dude is not one of them.:/

I think Paul had "interfaith" meetings all over the pagan world. And it was not the end of the world but the growth of Christianity.

[@brucewmclaughlin9072]

Hmmmmn did any of those interfaith meetings bring in different teachings to entice the pagan to accept Christianity without losing all of their current beliefs?

[@bridgefin]

@@brucewmclaughlin9072 A true pagan has to give up his beliefs to become a Christian and that is the work of the Holy Spirit. We can only offer the invitation and support along the way.

Nothing was said about Sunday worshiping! Saturday is the Sabbath... The church on the whole is still following what the catholic church instituted...

[@robertbrook8552]

People follow what man teaches what they know of the bible, man knowledge. I did this for 40 years until age 40 i was born again cause I seeked the truth. Narrow is the gate and few shall find it.

[@robertbrook8552]

When you accept CHRIST as your LORD you change repent turn from sin you can't do this but JESUS CHRIST does when you accept it. That's grace gift from GOD now GOD will never take that free gift from you but satan can get in if you allow him to and cause you to reject it. GOD said if you come to the truth then turn away it was better to not have believed. The worse punishment in hell are going to be those who had the HOLY SPIRIT and tasted the goodness of GOD then harden their heart and rejected it later. I went through persecution and it broke my heart and instead of going to GOD I fell harden my heart and quenched the HOLY SPIRIT GOD tried to get my attention but I grieved wouldn't listen. Satan beat the snot out of me and I went back to living in sin. I finally called out to GOD cause of his love for us I'm back to living for the LORD.

Help me out, why is Saturday so important over Sunday?

[@peterrodriguez5245]

Sunday is the lords day. Do a little research please.

Max Malachi 3:6 New King James Version (NKJV) 6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. The Father didn’t change his word... Why should we? Why go by man’s interpretation when the Word explains itself... He said; remember the Sabbath and keep it holy! That and ALL of His Word I try my best to do. Jesus said; Matthew 5:17-20 King James Version (KJV) 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. So the word itself states that the law is still intact! Sooooo.... If you want to live your life according to man’s interpretation and not by what the Word actually says then the burden is on you... Shalom....

*Everyone can see Roman religion is a man made religion. Only RCs could not. 95% of RC doctrines and 95% of RC clergies did not come from God's Word. Why would a true religion have such statistics? Lucy has b - ded the eyes of RCs; so they could not C.* 1. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet Bible says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47. 2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39. 3. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But Bible says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10. 4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to God only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10. 5. Catholics say drink of the physical blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26. 6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet Bible says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19. 7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. Bible says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5. 8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians. 9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet Bible says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18. 10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”. 11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10. 12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10. 13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6. 14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it. 15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same God. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.

[@DEROGOIOFFICIAL]

Concerning the Sabbath discussion: did not Jesus renewed the Covenant by being the Lamb Himself dying on the Cross for all of our Sins and made the Original Sabbath with all it's animal sacrifices stop by His death...? When did He die...? On a Friday! When did He resurrect...? On a Sunday! So, what does glorify the Sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ better...? Not sure myself as a born again believer in Christ...

[@tonybuck1225]

Sunday is the true Sabbath of the New (Christian) Covenant.

[@geordiewishart1683]

Jesus died at Passover and was raised on Saturday. God's seventh day Sabbath stands forever

@@geordiewishart1683 According to the Bible, He died at Friday and resurrected on the 3rd day...

[@BasedZoomer]

What I want to know is why Christians can't honor both days? Most people already have Saturday/Sunday weekends. What is the problem with taking Saturday (the last day of the week) to honor God's creation and first Covenant, and on Sunday (the first day of the week) honoring God's complete and finished work on the cross, and the New Covenant. He is the Beginning and the End, is He not? Why not celebrate Him on the first and last days of the week? Like, why does this even have to be an argument within Christendom? Just claim both days.

[@trustjesus9881]

Every one needs to repent from your sins and follow Jesus. Pray for repentance and for forgiveness of your sins and you can be born again. John 3:3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Luke 13:3 "I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

Lent is not 40 Days of mourning for Jesus' death. It is sacrificing for Christ as he declined temptation as he was in the desert for 40 days. Theres plenty wrong here, but that is the most glaringly innacurate. It takes one minute of googling to learn what Lent represents.
